Lmao great video, the part at 6:00- 7:00 had me in tears, your like "i feel stupid" blank expression from your friend then your rod goes flying lol good shit. PS. thanks for this video I've been using Williams Ice Jigs going to give the Meegs a try.
You can tell Tom from Fatal Force loves his job as a guide. Showing a fellow fishermen the tricks and sticking around to watch him nail them. A true teacher right there.
Man that was awesome and informative. And, thanks for making a point of showing the adipose on the opening laker after I bugged you about it so much. Then again, I think the later laker had his adipose missing (the one with RV clipped)...😁
That's awesome. I was coming in skunked today and some dude stopped me in the parking lot asking how I did. After I told him I marked a few but couldn't catch 'em he broke out his Meegs box and gave me the same lesson this guy probably did. Now, after that lesson and this video... I'm dropping by Trombly's tomorrow and trying my hand again.
nice catch Steve made me laugh my ass off, i have been trying to tell my buddies how to fish the meegs and your video shows it perfect, i was over working it as well and probably tapping the bottom to hard and kicking up too much dust but suttle movements seems to trigger them
Reel Canadian Lunker Hunter fishing is such a humbling sport. If you don't stay open minded, you'll get left in the dust. When experienced anglers talk, I listen.
Tom showed me the proper technique a few years back an my catch ratio went up 1000% He's got a few other baits that he uses, that will totally blow your mind when fished properly.
Was that a double trilene knot the guide was using to keep the meegs tail up? It looked like he pulled it all the way to one side to keep the tail up??
Hahaha that one hook set made me laugh out loud! I had the privilege after I beat cancer to go with Tom as my buddies paid for the trip as celebration. AMAZED non stop action! So simple I felt dumb like you said. Tight lines Steve great video
Wow! Do you tie your line directly to the meegs eyelet and slide the knot to the rear of the eye, then gently bounce the nose on the lake bottom, making the meegs look like it is feeding on the bottom?
Steve Rowbotham haha fair enough. Very interesting. My good friend likes the meegs but I haven't had much lucky. Going to try it this weekend to close out the season!
You should I bet a lot of people would watch, I've been getting on the schools and such but they bite weird and they have came up to just under my ice hole when there is a school for about half hour then they vanish, sorta weird tbh.
No they were whities as we were catching them but it was strange how close they came, we bumped bottom and no luck but when reeling up they came in a total swarm for roughly half hourish.

Great video,thx for sharing.did laugh when your rod went flying,lol.
it still happens on occasion
This is the best promotion for Fatal Force they could get.... gonna have to book a trip
it was a real eye opener

The best part of teaching is the messages later on that the clients are catching them good on their own
OK, looks like I too, will have to revisit the meegs. I've been doing alright on a goby tube imitation, but not THAT good! Cheers Robo.
That's amazing - great video!!!! Go Meegz!!!!! Great to see your reaction.

Mike Sutton I think you were right on that one
The 6+ minute hook set where the rod flew out of your hand was great! LOL I'd do the same if I had action like that.
So they do work, just have to know how to use them. Havent caught anything on my meegs yet lol... Awesome vid, and see ya on Saturday man👍🎣
Hey Brother great video.. the guy that helped you out sure seems to be a beauty!!!
I catch em on the Meegz occasionally but not like that.... looks like i gotta start experimenting with my technique...
Nice job man!
Wow unbelievable!!! What a day! Great video!
Gread vid and job the catch those.. i love learning new ways still
awesome vid like always!

That's wicked.... never to good to learn.... well done brother!

Sounds like solid advice... on the Meegs you had on, was that hair or did you have a plastic skirt?
Reel Canadian Lunker Hunter plastic tube
Thanks boss... hoping to hit Simcoe either Fri or Sat... long haul south but sooooo worth it when the bite is on
Epic rod catch bro. I was in tears laughing 😂
So when did you switch to the Drifter? And!! Where do you find the Drifter in Barrie ?
I havent used the drifter much, but im sure you can find them at The Bait Bucket in Barrie
Nice rod flip man!!!! Haha f**king awesome
That’s great! Nice work!
This was awesome 👍
Tom showed me the proper technique a few years back an my catch ratio went up 1000% He's got a few other baits that he uses, that will totally blow your mind when fished properly.
That local guide is Tom Carr from "Fatal Force Outfitters", a real awesome and legendary guide/gentleman.
1/4 oz or 1/2 oz?
almost always a 1/2oz
Was that a double trilene knot the guide was using to keep the meegs tail up? It looked like he pulled it all the way to one side to keep the tail up??
Hahaha that one hook set made me laugh out loud! I had the privilege after I beat cancer to go with Tom as my buddies paid for the trip as celebration. AMAZED non stop action! So simple I felt dumb like you said. Tight lines Steve great video
Right on!!
Kudos to Tom Carr)) great guide!
hey steve, quick question for you. First, what size meegs do you most feequently use? Second, what Lb leader do you tend to use for lakers/whities
6lbs leader and a 3/8 - 1/2 oz jig usually
Wow! Do you tie your line directly to the meegs eyelet and slide the knot to the rear of the eye, then gently bounce the nose on the lake bottom, making the meegs look like it is feeding on the bottom?
Iceout 1 👌
Hey bud, Nice video. Do you happen to know of a way to contact your guide buddy for a guide? Thanks
Fatal Force Outfitters
fatalforceoutfitters ok thanks man!
Steve i tip mine with a walleye plastic white jig bait . Are you using a white trout tube . Ive done ok with it but not like that .
That's awesome
Hand Auger? What size?
8 inch
Steve are you just suspending it a foot or so off bottom and then when you mark fish drop it down and bounce it? Looks deadly
Brad Fishleigh just when I'm being lazy and don't want to jig it
Steve Rowbotham haha fair enough. Very interesting. My good friend likes the meegs but I haven't had much lucky. Going to try it this weekend to close out the season!
nice hook set at 6:40 lol
What do you have on the Meegs? Looked like some sort of skirt?
Dennis G mini tube jig cut in half to make a skirt. Thread on the skirt with a newer meegs as it has a bait holder on it now.
All about the lake chatter to get the real tips ;)
when people talk fishing, I listen, You never know what you could learn
So whats the trick
David Carrow maybe a future video idea lol
You should I bet a lot of people would watch, I've been getting on the schools and such but they bite weird and they have came up to just under my ice hole when there is a school for about half hour then they vanish, sorta weird tbh.
sounds like it could be herring
No they were whities as we were catching them but it was strange how close they came, we bumped bottom and no luck but when reeling up they came in a total swarm for roughly half hourish.
Jesus! F'n smashfest indeed!
damn.... I don't know what to say lol
So what change did you make? I can’t catch a damn thing with the meegz. With anything for that matter.
Scott Cunningham it's gonna be difficult to explain without seeing or feeling it. Ultimately, the easiest way to explain is that I was overworking it.
Steve Rowbotham can you make a video on the proper technique? I'm sure it would go a long way in helping us all
So why not show what the new technique is? Don't need to see dozens of fish caught over and over.....
First!
